Where'd My Freedom Go?

The guru on the mountaintop smiles with all the answers
He holds the key to happiness
He'll teach you how to thrive
He's available by appointment
From the hours of nine to five

And on the odd occasion
When you find yourself in crisis
He'll make a quick exception
And grant you special licence

Where'd my freedom go
Who'd I give it to
Where'd my freedom go
Was it you or you or you?

The anchor on the evening station feeling everybody's pain
Has cut to a commercial
On how to treat the same
But he's back in just a moment
With a story bout the lame

Did you get my closeup
Did you watch my tear
Did you see my horror
Did you catch my fear

Where'd my freedom go
Who'd I give it to
Where'd my freedom go
Was it you or you or you?

I caught a quick reflection in the window shopping store
Didn't recognize my haggard face
Didn't recognize my eyes
Didn't see what was happening
Was too busy trying to hide

Where'd my freedom go
Did anybody see
Where'd my freedom go
Was it me or me or me?
